Mr. He said angrily: “I actually like Maomao very much, I’m just a little angry.
You guys are talking about such a big thing, but Xiaoqiu didn't even discuss it with the family first. Luckily it was Maomao. If he was secretly dating someone in the countryside, and if he was dating someone with bad character, I would be so angry!"
"Dad, Mom, Manwen, you are all here. During your lunch break, the postman delivered a letter that looked like it was from Xiaoqiu to Dad.
I was in a hurry to get to work, so I just put it under the coffee table." Chu Baichuan walked in from outside, pointing at the coffee table while changing his slippers.
Mr. He quickly took the letter, opened it and took a look.
In the letter, Chu Jingqiu not only advised him to remain vigilant, but also told him that she was dating Xiao Yihan.
Mr. He's anger suddenly turned into joy. "I said Xiaoqiu is usually a very well-behaved child. She would definitely tell me about such a big thing."
He burst into laughter after saying that. He Manwen was stunned by the speed at which his father's expression changed.
"Dad, you've changed so quickly! You were so angry just now, and Xiaoqiu can cheer you up with just a letter!"
"What do you know? Xiaoqiu told me that she's dating someone. This shows that an old man like me still holds an important place in her heart. Why didn't she tell you first? Humph!"
He Manwen glanced at her mother and found that she was also shaking her head speechlessly.
When Mr. Xiao saw He Qixian leave angrily, he knew that Mr. He must not know that Xiaoqiu was dating.
This old man He often didn't let him take back his moves, which made him very angry. This time he won back a game and made old man He angry and leave. He immediately felt very refreshed.
As Xiao Yihan walked into the door with a bag of things, he saw Old Man Xiao humming a little tune while watering the flowers.
"Grandpa, you're not busy, are you? If you are, please accompany me to see Mr. He."
Grandpa Xiao paused while watering the flowers. He looked at the big bag of gifts in Xiao Yihan's hand and thought: I just made Grandpa He angry and left, and now my eldest grandson has to go to the He family to apologize?
"Why do you want to meet Old He? Do you want to meet his parents now?" Old Master Xiao asked guiltily.
"Grandpa, what are you thinking? I have something very important to discuss with Mr. He. It has nothing to do with Xiaoqiu and me." Xiao Yihan said gently.
Old Master Xiao knew that Xiao Yihan must have something important to discuss with Old Master He. He had also heard about the commotion in the compound a few days ago, and felt that what Xiao Yihan wanted to talk about was most likely related to this matter.
Old Master Xiao's expression became serious. He put on his coat and took Xiao Yihan to the He family.
He Manwen heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened it, he saw Mr. He and a young soldier.
The young man was handsome and extraordinary, with sharp features as delicate as a sculpture, thin lips, a high nose bridge, and dark phoenix eyes that contained an unfathomable depth and coldness.
"Hello, Auntie!" Xiao Yihan took the initiative to greet.
He Manwen nodded and welcomed the two into the living room. "Are you...Maomao?"
Xiao Yihan smiled and nodded, "Yes, Auntie, it's me."
He Manwen called out Mr. He and the others, made tea for them, and served them some nuts and dried meat.
"Uncle Xiao, Maomao, try it and see if it tastes good. This is what Xiaoqiu sent."
Both Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yihan didn't like snacks, but when they heard that Xiaoqiu sent them, they took some to taste.
Mr. Xiao praised the dried meat highly, "This is roe deer meat! It's really well made, spicy and numb, and it's really delicious!"
Xiao Yihan prefers pine nuts, which have a unique taste. There are five-spice flavors and cream flavors. Although he usually doesn't like snacks, he couldn't help but eat a few more.
When Xiao Yihan saw He Qixian and Li Peilan coming out of the room, he quickly stood up and said nervously, "Hello, Grandpa He, Grandma He!"
Seeing Xiao Yihan coming, the old couple greeted him with a smile.
At first, everyone talked about some past events, and then they all praised Xiao Yihan for his outstanding appearance, intelligence and ability.
Li Peilan and He Manwen are like mothers-in-law looking at their sons-in-law. The more they look at each other, the happier they are. Both of them are very satisfied.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xiao Yihan said to Mr. He with a serious expression: "Grandpa He, I have something very important to discuss with you alone. Please..."
He Qixian welcomed Mr. Xiao and Xiao Yihan to his study, and Xiao Yihan told Mr. He the results of his recent investigation.
He Qixian pondered for a moment and said, "A few days ago, Qin Junyi came to our house to cause trouble, also using Baichuan's paintings as an excuse.
Xiaoqiu and I both agree that there is a dark hand behind the scenes, but we don't know what his purpose is.
I carefully analyzed this person's motives. If it was for revenge, these literati had never done anything harmful to others, nor did they have such a deep hatred.
If it's not for revenge, then it's for profit. These people have average living standards, so it's not for profit.
The only possibility is that it is for a certain painting in their hands. Perhaps this painting is very important to this person, or he likes it very much, so he wants to find a way to get it. "
Xiao Yihan nodded in agreement, "My analysis is that it might be for a painting. The key is that we don't know which painting he wants, and this person probably doesn't know who has the painting.
So they used this method to search each house one by one and take advantage of the situation to find the suspect.
I think Uncle Chu is also within the range they are looking for, so I want to remind Grandpa He that you still have to be vigilant.
That person manipulated Qin Junyi to frame you, he must have promised you greater benefits, and without confirming the true situation of the study, he was so anxious to frame you. I guess the person behind it was pushed by something and couldn't sit still. "
Old Master Xiao said with a serious expression: "Old He, we must arrange for someone to live in the courtyard to prevent anyone from framing us."
Old Master He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "After Qin Junyi caused trouble that day, I let Old He and his wife live there. I moved all the paintings in the study to the compound without leaving any."
Xiao Yihan looked into He Lao's eyes and said, "After I learned that Qin Junyi had come to the gate to cause trouble, I notified all the guards in the compound to be on high alert and not let any strangers into the compound."
Old Master He looked at Xiao Yihan lovingly and said, "Maomao, Xiaoqiu wrote to say that you two are dating. I've watched you grow up since you were little. I'm relieved to leave Xiaoqiu to you."
After saying that, she patted Xiao Yihan on the shoulder. Xiao Yihan was a little flattered. He thought Chu Jingqiu had not told her family about them, but he didn't expect that she actually told them.
This shows that he still occupies a very important position in Xiaoqiu's heart. Thinking of this, a hint of tenderness unconsciously appeared on his face.
